WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally praise the LX 600 for its exceptionally refined and well-appointed interior, with high-grade materials and a serene ride quality that sets it apart in the full-size luxury SUV segment. Most find the driving dynamics composed if not sporty, and the off-road capability is broadly regarded as class-competitive. Some reviewers note the infotainment interface as a weakness relative to European rivals.
